What color is Behr New House White?

Behr New House White RD-W10 is a soft off-white with a lightly warm, muted cast rather than a crisp, stark-white look. Its #f1ede7 color value suggests a gentle beige-gray influence that keeps the shade grounded and low in contrast. In bright daylight, it can read clean and pale, while evening or warm artificial lighting is likely to bring out its subtle creamy warmth. Use it on main walls in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted, or carry it onto trim for a less sharply outlined finish. Natural oak, woven linen, warm stone, charcoal accents, and dusty green or clay-toned details give this color a considered, tactile setting.

LRV of New House White

New House White has an LRV of 85.11% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 85.11%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft² living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
